@libertypoints Umm it’s a traffic stop. If someone runs, let them run. Then ticket them later. This sh*t should go down if you’ve caught a human trafficker!
@harikondabolu Police should be held to the same standards of training and care as doctors, PA’s, APRN’s – professions that have the power to save and extinguish life, yet should do no harm if possible
We need to build a whole new system, not just add a bit of “training” #TyreNichols
@mikeledo@NNNN996@mmpadellan Not listening to someone should equal death? Let’s change the context: if you don’t listen to your doctor, he can force you to take something in his office to make you gravely ill…possibly die! So you should always listen!
Not changing the system is supporting dictatorship

Twitter laid me off today. If you know of any open positions for project managers or senior software engineers, let me know. I was in charge of the feature that made sure you saw screenshots of the people you’d blocked and muted
